New subframe bushings.. If you like playing with fire n a torch you would love this job.. I hated the smell.
All four bushings plus the diff bushings came out to like 70$ shipped dont remember now. Very easy to do but a bit time consuming.

I got real lazy and really cheap and i bought cxracing intercooler piping.. It was an incomplete set which cxracing failed to put on there sales post. So i ended up going to a local muffler shop to get the rest of the piping finished.

I purchased the motor from jdmofmiami.com and i explained to him what happened and he gave me another motor. After almost 7 months the same thing happened. My advice... rebuild ur rb25 motors when u get them just to save the extra headache. This is motor is on 93 octane fuel, stock maf , stock turbo, stock computer i had aem wideband on it and air/fuel was always at 14.8 while driving never moved it was incredible how steady it was. and under full throttle it was 11.8 to 11.2. I stoped at a red light one day car turned off.. When i turned it back on it had a miss with very light smoke. After a few more days miss got worse and i did compression test and it was under 100 on about 3 different pistons. one of them read 70.. but im still driving the car perfectly fine.

hmm thats weird, i have an rb25det neo and didnt touch a thing when i swapped it in 3 years ago. didnt even change the spark plugs, been running great and i go to beaver run every month for drifting

[mando240]

It must be my bad luck... The motor is untouched and used to run hard let me tell u.. But once i upd the boost to about 12 lbs it only lasted about 2 months.. The first motor all the pistons had broken ringlands except for one. I was getting oil on top of the pistons. This motor i have not taken it apart yet but it seems to be the same issue.

Build Threads

Almost everyone enjoys building their cars and sharing that experience, as well as checking out others' builds for inspiration. Sadly, far too many users have a tendency to do half-hearted builds and either rarely update or update with trivial progress. In the interest of keeping the Chat forum clear of three hundred 'Install SR, ziptie aero, rattlecan paint' threads, incomplete, or in-progress build threads are not allowed. If you have completed your build, wrangle all those pictures into a post and tell us about it, but make sure the build is finalized. If you insist on having an in-progress build, Premium members have a specialized subforum for that specific purpose.
